In this article we will discuss about the Meaning and Importance of Plasmolysis. Meaning of Plasmolysis: Shrinkage of the protoplast of a cell from its cell wall under the influence of a hypertonic solution is called plasmolysis. Hypertonic solution causes exosmosis or withdrawal of water from cytoplasm and then the central vacuole of cell. The size of cytoplasm as well [...]
The following points highlight the two types of pathways of water passage from root hair to xylem inside the root. The types are: 1. Apoplast Pathway 2. Symplast Pathway. Type # 1. Apoplast Pathway: Here water passes from root hair to xylem through the walls of intervening cells without crossing any membrane or cytoplasm. The pathway provides the least resistance [...]
